Zind Cli

Some examples of the zind cli would look like this:

# Walk the filesystem
$ zind

# Filter out all paths that contain the text 'node_module'
$ zind -ge node_module

# Only include paths with the text 'py'
$ zind -g py

# Only include paths that end with the text py
# zind -gr ".*py$"

Cli Usage

Filesystem files and directories can be filtered based on input tokens. -g will only return lines with matching text. -ge will exclude lines with matching text. -gr will use regex matching to include text. -gc will enforce case sensitive matches. The options can be mix and matched. -gre ".*.py$" will exclude all files ending in .py.

Files can be scanned line by line as well. -t will cause the tool to print matching lines within files that contain the matching text. -te will exclude matching lines in text.

Getting Started

The most simple example of the api would look like this:

from zind.api.core_find import Find

find = Find()
file_matches = find.find(".",[])

for file_match in file_matches:
  print(file_match)
